These are a favorite in my family. Growing up, I can remember making so many batches of this dough at one time, for Christmas, and putting it in our big yellow plastic bowl to chill. I always felt that because my mom and I had made so much, it would be okay to sneak in and grab a spoonful of dough at a time to eat. Oh yummy!
